The Right Time ......

[Snowflake]

When is it the right time to take your life? Will we ever know? How will we know that we can't hold onto the rope any longer, and we must fall? When is enough....enough?

The right time is when you really really really have tried your best effort to heal and improve when you been so courageous and you really stuck in there and still life didnt work out anyway
When you know you can be in peace with your self to let go and say you really tried

Thats atleast what I think for my self

Ive set a time limit and will stick to it and turn every possible stone tpo make this work out to have a life I can be content with

If it doesnt work out any way Ill know I wasnt ment to be and better save myself and the world

That is a question only an individual can answer for themselves. I have my own line in the sand, and I'm close to it, but I have not yet exhausted all options. Once I have truly done that, tried EVERYTHING to improve and failed, then it will be time for me to go. But I'm going to do it in such a way that it will be as non-traumatizing to my family as possible...I don't want them walking in and seeing a mess on top of my dying. Its not fair to your loved ones to potentially give them the same problem that killed you.....

Hope you find a way out of this mindset soon. It sucks being here, I know.

i have had suicidal thoughts since I was 12. I am now 21. Don't give up on life. There are many options to seek help. Forums, self help, therapy, alternative treatments. I recently got out of a suicidal episode (just thinking about it), and I realise when we are suicidal, we are not thinking logically. Perhaps allowing your mind to rest for one day or two days, then you can get some perspective on things.

EDIT:
To answer your question, everytime I felt suicidal, I thought maybe now is the right time, but after a while I got my senses back and I realise I still really really want to live and want to hope that life will be better in the future. Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, but I hold on to the hope that it might improve.

@Snowflake, a good question. I love your philosophical and existential question. Yet due to the liabilities on this forum, this process is probably best asked In person, in private, within your community. (I need to clarify this.)

More importantly, are you feeling burnout, or hopeless about something, or frustrated? What do you think could help change your situation?

When I have had traumatic experiences or feel exhausted I begin thinking these questions. Is there anyone in your community you can meet with?

Call 911 if you are feeling suicidal. You are valuable, and important!

Apparently I don't get to croak myself yet.
I don't know why other people want me here.
I despise myself.

I have always told myself when my kids became adults ...in college.....that would be my limit. Well they are and I am tired of fighting and trying. I just want to sleep forever.

I despise myse...

I don't believe people want me here either. I don't even think I deserve to be here...or that people truly care enough if I am here or not...I am just here. I also despise myself, very unworthy .

Hmmmm-still unsure of what you mean by this. Liabilities???? Ask in private or within community????

I am not saying I am going to end my life- would like to -but instead I reach out for help, advice or to ask silly questions.

Exhausted, hopeless absolutely!

Reach out to someone in my community. Nope! This is a personal, private - thoughts.

Thanks for your reply

For me, it's never been a real question....I have had thoughts (no matter what anyone says, everyone thinks about it - it is a natural thought process when suffering), but when they come my immediate response is...what if they came up with a miracle cure the next day - that would be my luck. Sort of like washing the car makes it rain. Or what sort of example am I setting for my child who did not ask to be born but still needs me even as a quasi-adult, what am I saying to him? And so I live in denial and go on sublimating the pain, anger, and anguish - sometimes just to breathe..hoping for a cure, a drug, a doctor that can fix this mess I call a life.

I don't believe people want me here either. I don't even think I deserve to be here...or that people truly care enough if I am here or not...I am just here. I also despise myself, very unworthy .

You were born into this world, you have a right to be here and a right to thrive. Something evil has tried to take it from you, don't let it win.

I have a simple thing I say to myself... Don't disappear before the miracle happens.. works every time, regardless of how hopeless I feel.

There are some days I feel so alone and I wish I could describe the feelings to someone, anyone, but I can't. I have often wanted to hold my head because of everything just going crazy inside it. I have said to myself just rip it off, throw it in the road, so a truck could run over it-then the feelings, thoughts, memories, voices would stop. I have imagined going on the news and telling someone to take my life. I am tired of hearing about innocent lives dying, when I would gladly give mine instead. I am embarrassed, ashamed and disgusted with myself for the abuse I suffered. I can't get past it-I honestly feel that I was meant to die during the abuse-that surviving wasn't part of my life plan .
